I'm no expert, but my doctor told me that the baby takes iron from our body to build their own stores for the first six months after birth. I had to take two iron tablets daily because my hemoglobin fell thoda low. Once I started them, I felt much less tired.

Oh god, I once accidentally rolled onto my stomach in sleep and panicked so badly, thinking I hurt the baby! My doc reassured me that the baby is safely cushioned inside fluid. Don't worry, early pregnancy sleep is hard anyway, sleep however u are comfortable.

In my late 3rd trimester, I felt very eager to naturally induce labor and tried gentle stimulation, which my doctor allowed. But in early pregnancy, it can cause early contractions, so be very careful.

Yaar, actually there is no need for all these fancy alkaline waters. Normal filtered or boiled water is best. Just stay hydrated, that is what actually matters during these months.

Honestly, I was vomiting so much in my first trimester that intimacy was the last thing on my mind! But once that settled in my second trimester, I did feel a sudden shift, which my doctor said is very common.
